Opening scene
Snezhana Peykova is a visual artist interested in immersive storytelling through the relationship between text, image and sound with a focus on turning still imagery into moving image. Guided by intuition, she brings together time-based visuals, photography, scanography, and performance to encapsulate emotions such a nostalgia, grief, melancholy, and desire. Deeply rooted in the music world, her work often lives at the intersection of sound and image—ranging from band press shoots and stagewear to music videos, and live gig visuals.
Known for her romantic and otherworldly aesthetic, her art draws on themes of grief, nostalgia, and longing—often using her own body and face as a medium in self-portraiture to bridge intimacy between artist and viewer. This practice has also given her a grounded understanding of both sides of the camera. She has directed music videos, exhibited internationally, and created theatre costumes featured at the Brighton Fringe. As both a creative director and event photographer, Peykova’s work lives at the intersection of myth, memory, and music.

Snezhana Peykova is a multidisciplinary artist working at the intersection of sound, vision, and storytelling. Throughout her creative journey, she has immersed herself in video art in the form of short films and music videos, collaborating closely with clients to sculpt evocative visual identities. In the borderlands between music and vision, Peykova builds worlds. Drawn to the soul of sound, she moves fluidly between costume and camera, between pigment and performance. Working across creative direction, makeup artistry, and filmmaking, she believes that each frame should tell a story.
Her process-led approach aims to create an experience for the spectator by working with atmosphere and mystery, rather than defined narrative. Peykova has a curious and playful approach to every project. Her self-portraiture— often described as intimate, romantic, otherworldly, and haunting—is central to her practice, bridging the distance between creator and viewer, and deepening her understanding of performance in front of the lens.
Her visual work—both film and photography—has been showcased in international exhibitions across London, Glasgow, Rome, Dresden, and Sofia. Her costume design has extended into theatre, including work featured in a Brighton Fringe Festival production.
Peykova is also a chronicler of live performance—an instinctive photographer and videographer capturing moments from underground gigs to international festivals. Once the force behind exhibitions, open mics, and poetry nights in her hometown, her roots in community and collaboration still echo softly through everything she creates.
Part director, part designer, part witness—Peykova’s work is where the imagined becomes tangible, where sound meets sight and is weaved into reality.
